What is 35 divided by 7?
Stay with me on this one. This is a True Story with respect to severe dehydration. Then we’ll get back to ’06 Survival Tricks To Gather & Purify Emergency Water!’ Lack of water can seriously affect your mental faculties. Here, let me prove it by telling you this True survival story while attending the US Army SERE Instructor Course (SERE Level B) conducted by a dozen cadre of US Army Special Forces cadre (Green Berets) who came down to Panama.
I came to the Team Room located at Fort Davis, Panama and the other team members told me that the SERE (Survival Escape Resistance and Evasion) Committee out of Fort Bragg – Camp Mackall, NC is here at Fort Sherman, Panama to do a SERE Course. They said our team has a slot to attend SERE School and asked me if I wanted the slot.
In a split second I said “NO.” I was too busy with something else. Then they told me it was a “gentleman’s course.” I’d attend the course in the morning and be back by 1600 (4pm) or 1700 (5pm) hours every day. Heck, I could kill 02 birds with one stone – attend SERE School and still work on whatever it was – I forgot, probably a new sniper class for an upcoming deployment.
Hey that sounded good to me so I like a dumb ass I said “OK, sign me up.” The next thing I knew I and 50+ other SERE candidates were taking a swim test at the Olympic size swimming pool at Fort Davis, Panama. The SERE Course was actually taught out of Fort Sherman, Panama.
I didn’t see anybody till 30-days later. I got suckered into that one BIG TIME! But it was well worth it. Another butt whoopin’ in my military career. Approximately 50+ SERE students started and only 23 graduated including me (SERE cadre took a picture of the survivors)!!! I lost 25-pounds the last week or so of the course (Evasion Phase & Isolation Phase).
While attending the US Army SERE School, among other evading teams, I and 05 other SERE candidates on our team were executing the evasion part of the course. This was the second to last phase of the course. During the day our team would evade through the very humid and hot jungle environment of Panama. Our mission was to evade several hours away to pre-designated coordinates while AVOIDING all contact with 02 platoons of searching infantry soldiers (80). There were 80 infantry soldiers looking for our 06-man evading team and the other 08 evading teams.
If they captured even 01 member of the evading team, the entire team was terminated from the SERE Course. Exact, right-on-the-money, pinpoint navigation was part of the grading system. None of us had ever ventured through the large jungle area before during those days of evasion. If our navigation was off, if we missed out link-ups – it was automatic termination.
Once at these coordinates the team constructed a hide site for overnight use. Once the sun came up, a 02-man team would patrol to pre-designated coordinates to link-up with a cadre member. More pinpoint navigation.
The cadre member executed the following criteria:
- Evaders navigated to link-up site at precise link-up date & time
- Search for evaders link-up and grade link-up of evaders
- Go to hide site area and try to identify and grade hide site concealment
- Give new coordinates for next evasion corridor and hide site area
We now had a little more than 03-weeks behind us. Just a 05-more days to go. At this point we were really tore-up. Especially mentally tore-up. We were assembled and briefed on the isolation phase part of the SERE course and taken to our individual isolation sites which were a good distance apart. If caught in another SERE students isolation area – it was immediate termination. We had to complete several field-craft tasks (traps and snares, hide site, clandestine fires, weapons, diary – logbook, survival site sketch map,…).
Remember I said the instructors said “dehydration dulls the mind” – well you’re going to get a good laugh at this just like the SERE cadre. YouTube didn’t exist back then, but if they did video record myself and the Navy student being briefed prior to isolation phase, I’m sure the video would get millions of views (keep reading).

The SERE Instructors Kept Laughing At Us! Why?
Myself and a Navy guy (not the one that selfishly ate all our ‘on-the-run’ jungle food) were the last ones to be isolated in our own isolation sites. The SERE instructor briefed us and asked if there were any questions. The Navy guy started talking and I noticed the instructors were laughing! I couldn’t understand it.
He talked some more and both SERE instructors laughed some more. I asked a question or said something and again both SERE cadre laughed! The Navy guy said something else and again the SERE instructors laughed. We were asking serious questions and they laughed every time we said anything! Why? This is serious training and these SERE cadre are laughing every time we talked. It turns out we were both so severely dehydrated it affected our mental faculties. We both had a hard time putting a good coherent sentence together. Doing simple 2nd grade school math was a challenge (keep reading). To the SERE instructors we sounded like were drunken idiots.
But to each other we sounded OK since we were both screwed-up. Thinking back to the previous days of the evasion phase of the testing, how we navigated with pin point precision and evaded 02 platoons of infantry (80 soldiers) in the hot humid jungle for those days of evasion is unbelievable.
Isolated for 03 – 04 days we went through our several individual tasks of survival field-craft. On the 4th day SERE instructors would come to our sites and grade our field-craft. This was another MUST PASS or fail part of the SERE School. My memory was shot to hell. I laid down my home-made weapon and couldn’t remember where I put it.
Almost in a panic, I scurried around my survival site picking up scraps of anything I could find to put a weapon together real quick. Plus, it had to pass their test which was 03 hard whacks against the nearest big tree! I got lucky. Just before the SERE instructor arrived I had a new club weapon!
–
35 divided by 07 equals ?????
I don’t know exactly what day I did this during the isolation phase, but I remember sitting down on a log and checking out my mental status just like the SERE cadre told us. They told us to do a simple math problem. Remember “dehydration / lack of water dulls the mind.”
I did a simple math problem. 35 divided by 07 equals ????? I thought hard to solve the problem. 05 seconds went by, 10 seconds went by, 30 seconds went by. It was either 30 seconds or up to 45 seconds went by and the answer 05 finally popped in my head. Man oh man, I was messed-up. It should usually take a person no more than a ¼ to ½ a second to come up with the answer. It took me 30 to 45 seconds! As bugs bunny would say I was “non-compus mentis” – crazy!
I was the very last student to be graded and I got the toughest grader of all the SERE cadre – the Sergeant Major (SGM) of SERE School! I was hoping to get the cadre that graded me at my link-up (see Holy Sh!+ in my book below) cause I was hurtn’, I needed a little luck on my side to pass the course but I didn’t get it, I got the hardest grader of them all – the Sergeant Major.
I remember he wanted to see my treadle snare. I was in really bad shape. With the hot humid temperatures of the jungle I was more dehydrated than ever. I looked at my sketch map and had to take an azimuth and pace count just to find my treadle snare. I couldn’t find it. I tried it 02 more times with the SGM following me. The SERE instructor (SGM) told me I got one more chance. I took another azimuth and pace count and I found it.
It turns out we both were standing next to it after each search. We were taught to camouflage all our traps and snares – everything – so the enemy couldn’t accidently find them leading to an evader. Plus, to hide the scent of the treadle snare, the entire snare to include the string was black black black from being rubbed & rubbed by charcoal from my firepit.
I was so screwed up I couldn’t even find my own snares even with my accurate sketch map. I’ll tell you it was camouflaged perfectly and just waiting for a critter to step on the platform. Now get this, my treadle snare was camouflaged so good, even the SGM couldn’t see it. Or did he see it from the very beginning and wanted me to find it? The last thing he graded was my trot line. I built it under some vegetation already growing over the small creek. It was hidden like it was supposed to be.
After grading everything it turns out I passed this phase – thank God but it still wasn’t over. The surviving members of our team were assembled and given new coordinates for a partisan link-up the next morning. The partisans (friendly good guys) would help us evade to friendly lines for pick-up by friendly American or allied personnel.
Now let’s get back to ’06 Survival Tricks To Gather & Purify Emergency Water!’ Let’s learn how to gather water from the Real Survivors. Let’s start with gathering life-saving water via Transpiration.
The following are field expedient means to acquire water, filter it and purify it.
- Transpiration
- Water Still Above Ground
- Reverse Below Ground Still
- Below Ground Water Still
- Dew on a Stick
- Dew on a String
- Rain
- Digging
- Water Filtering and Purifying
- Paper That Won’t Burn
- Kalahari Secret Water Cache
- Desert Emergency Water
- Bombard’s Fresh Water Fish Discovery
- Bombard’s Salt Water Discovery
- Chemical Water Purifier
- Utah Mormon Water Purifier
–
01) Transpiration. Placing and securing transparent-clear (not colored) plastic bags over branches, bushes, clumps of plants will draw small amounts of water from the vegetation. Placing the plastic bags around the vegetation, the vegetation acts like a pump, condensation forms which turns to water droplets. This technique is called Transpiration. The best technique is to place the bags on the south side of tree branches, bushes… in the Northern Hemisphere and the northern side in the Southern Hemisphere so that the sun can help the condensation process throughout the day.
This method will continuously draw the water from the plant for days and weeks without killing the vegetation. An average size tree pumps twenty-five (25) gallons of water through its branches every twenty-four hours!
One technique I use is to attach-tie a clear tube to the lowest part of the plastic bag to a plastic bottle. Carve a small hole through the bottle-top and slip the clear plastic tube through the bottle-top and screwed-on the bottle-top. Using this technique, I could easily procure water 24-hours a day without taking the bag off the branch.
–
02) Water Still Above Ground. One version of the water still above ground is to place the smallest (leaves, small branches) and as much vegetation as possible into a clear plastic bag and secure it with string or by thatching. Avoid branches that may puncture the plastic bag. Place the vegetation on the ground or hang it so that the sun is shining directly on it throughout the entire day. You must place the bag on an incline or tilt it so that gravity will carry the water to the lowest point of the bag or the closed opening where a tube can be inserted to draw out the water. The water still will gather water through condensation.
Air temperature increases within the bag, drawing the water from the vegetation causing condensation. The water vapor comes in contact with the cooler plastic to form water droplets.
–
03) Reverse Below Ground Water Still. Another version of the above ground water still is called the Reverse Below Ground Water Still. It is constructed on the surface and no digging is required. This reverse water still is designed to draw water from water puddles and mud puddles. The first step is to find a water or mud puddle that is in direct sunlight at least most of the day. The next step is to place some clear plastic directly over and around the water/mud puddle.
Elevate the plastic using a small stick insuring that the stick does not puncture the plastic. It should form the shape of a tee-pee tent so that water droplets will run down the underside of the plastic. Next cup the plastic completely around the base of the reverse still so that the water droplets will run down the underside of the plastic into the cupped portion of the reverse still. Next place portions of dirt around the outside portion of the reverse still so that it is as airtight as possible. Insure that the cupped portion of the reverse still does not collapse when placing the dirt at the base.
The reverse water still will gather water through condensation. The direct sunlight onto the plastic will increase the air temperature within the plastic until the air is saturated or till it can hold no more water vapor. The vapor begins to condense into droplets of moisture on the underside of the plastic because the plastic is cooler than the damp air within the reverse water still. The droplets of moisture from the water/mud puddle will be cleaner and form in the cupped portion of the reverse water still. See Filtering Systems for easier water procurement.
–
04) Below Ground Water Still. The below ground water still works like the reverse water still. The direct sunlight onto the plastic will increase the air temperature within the plastic until the air and soil is saturated or till it can hold no more water vapor. The vapor begins to condense into droplets of moisture on the underside of the plastic because the plastic is cooler than the damp air within the below ground water still. The droplets of moisture will collect in the container of the below ground water still.
The materials needed to construct a below ground water still are a shovel, 06 x 06 foot sheet of clear plastic, a container for securing water, and at least a five foot piece of pliable clear plastic tubing in which to draw water from the still.
Try to locate your below ground water still so that it has direct sunlight throughout the entire day. To construct a below ground water still you’ll need to dig a hole that is approximately three feet wide and about eighteen inches deep. Once the hole is dug it should be three feet wide at the surface, and funnel shaped at a depth of eighteen inches.
Next place your container in the center of the hole and insure that it is held in place so that it doesn’t tip over on its side. Next place your tube into the container so that it has contact with the bottom of the container. This way you can draw water from the container without disassembling the water still. The other end of the tube must reach the surface beyond the lay of the plastic and covering dirt.
The next step is to place the clear plastic over the hole so that it is loose. Secure the plastic to the outer perimeter of the hole by carefully placing dirt, rocks, and other materials around the entire circumference of the hole. The idea is to seal the below ground water still.
The next step is to carefully place a small weighted object onto the center of the loose plastic so that the plastic is drawn downward and shaped like a cone.
The apex or pointed portion of the cone should be directly over your water container. This will insure that the droplets of moisture will run down the underside of the plastic into the water container. During hours of darkness the below ground water still will gather fifty percent of water that it gathers during the day time.
After sundown the plastic cools rapidly while the temperature of the soil remains high. So water vapor continues to condense on the underside of the plastic. To increase the procurement of water within the below ground water still; you can add vegetation to it or urinate (do not urinate in the container) in the hole prior to securing the plastic.
Within a twenty-four hour period the below ground water still may gather as much as a pint of water. A quart or more may be gathered within another twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The below ground water still may attract small game that can’t work their way out of the hole. So be prepared to take action when finding an aggressive snake, opossum, rabbit, raccoon…..

05) Dew on a Stick. Of the ’06 Survival Tricks To Gather & Purify Emergency Water’ – this is probably the easiest and fastest technique to gather water. In the early morning hours dew is present. This dew can be gathered by taking a 05-foot branch that has a fork on it or use your Walking Forked Stick. Secure some cloth on the end of it (shirt, t-shirt, handkerchief…). The reason for the forked stick is protection from any angry critters and may be used as a weapon!
Walk through an open field and slowly swing the forked-end of the clothed branch left-to-right in front of you gathering large amounts of water from the dew laid vegetation. Once the cloth becomes saturated, twist and squeeze the cloth and gather the water in a container. Replace and secure the cloth and repeat the gathering process till the desired amount of water is gathered.
Using this technique, you can literally gather GALLONS of water in a short period of time but do it real early!
–
06) Dew on a String. The following is an easy technique to gather water. It’s slow but it works. What you’ll need are 02 20-foot pieces of string, 04 sturdy sticks about 05-feet in length, a small 03-pound weight, and a clean water container .
The idea of Dew on a String is to gather water by having water droplets drip into a container. Dew gathers on 4 strings and travels down the strings by gravity and finally drip into the water container.
Secure your water container in a central location. Place all four sticks in the form of a cross away from the water container. Each stick should be 08 1/2-feet from your water container.
Now tie the first string connecting two sticks. You’ll notice that there is slack in the string. Once you attach the weight to all four strings, the strings should have a straight angle towards your water container.
Now tie the second string to the second set of sticks. Both strings are slack but should intersect at the exact location of the bucket.
Now tie your weight to all four strings where both sets of strings intersect. Once you attach your weight, the 02 sets of string should be tight and angled directly into your water container. If you need to adjust any string, just adjust it at any stick by tightening or loosening the string. Adjust your water container so that it is directly underneath the small weight. Dew will gather in the early morning hours until dawn. This technique is slow and requires very little work. To gather huge amounts of dew, see Dew on a Stick in this section. See Dew On A Stick for easier water procurement.
–
07) Rain. Of all the ’06 Survival Tricks To Gather & Purify Emergency Water’ rain is probably the easiest to procure. If you don’t have any containers, start digging a hole, a wide deep hole. But dig it where the rain water is likely to drain towards low ground. Use a poncho to water-proof the hole. If you don’t have anything to cover the hole – no problem. The water should stay for awhile. Rain is usually safe for drinking while gathered in clean containers. However, when in doubt, boil the water for the proper amount of time to purify it for consumption. See Water Filtration and Purification in this section.
–
08) Digging. This is the least desired method since it takes a lot of energy to dig and the results aren’t guaranteed. When there is no surface water, rain, dew, or even plastic to construct an above or below ground water still; you’ll need to dig to the water table. Digging into dried water courses can be tiresome work; especially attempting to dig without the proper tools. If you decide to dig to the water table; use some of the following tips to save energy and increase your success rate.
a) Protection from the elements. Try to protect yourself from the sun, wind, cold, heat or any combination of these elements.
b) Activity. Understanding the relationship between physical activity, the air temperature, and water consumption will be instrumental in your plans in procuring water. The body requires a certain amount of water for certain level of activity. The lack of water causes a rapid decline in clear decision making and performing survival tasks effectively.
c) Locations for digging sites. Follow animal trails that may lead to already dugout water sources. Dig for water in dried creeks, rivers, ponds, lakes and swamps.
–
09) Water Filtering and Purifying. Ninety percent of all sicknesses in a survival situation come from drinking contaminated water. Filtering water may be necessary as many water sources are muddy, stagnant, or foul smelling and contain harmful bacteria and other contaminants. In order to make untreated water drinkable, you must first filter till its clear followed by purifying it!
a) Water Filtration Systems.
Bottle Filter: Place a 01 to 02 inch layer of charcoal (place several pebbles in the bottle filter first to hold the charcoal), followed by a one to two inch layer of sand or moss, and finally a one to two inch layer of small rocks or pebbles.
–
Tripod Filter: Another system is to set-up a tripod. On the tripod are three sets of pouches. Each pouch holds filtration substances that captures impurities, sediment, critters, and other non-potable debris. The top pouch will capture the bid stuff, so place small pebbles and sand in the top pouch. The middle pouch should contain moss, clothing, cotton… or other material to capture the finer debris.
The bottom pouch should contain charcoal from your fire. This charcoal will help rid the water of foul odor and help purify it. However, the water must still be PURIFIED! At this stage you’re only purifying the water. At the bottom of the Tripod Filter is a container in which to capture the filtered water. If the water is not clear, pass it through the filtration a 2nd, 3rd or even a 4th time! Hair can also be used to as a fine filter!
–
c) Capillary Action Filter. Place muddy water in a round plate-like container. Place another container at a lower level on-line with the higher container. Place a folded handkerchief/cloth that is one inch wide between the top and bottom container. The water will rise-up – climb on the cloth from the dirty container and down through the cloth into the empty container. Mud and dirt particles cannot pass through the cloth. Only clean filtered water will be passed into the lower container.
This method is very slow but effective. You may want to add additional strips of cloth. Once the strips of cloth become so clogged with debris, simply replace them or rid them of the debris and continue the process.
d) Purifying Water.
Purifying water is a safe method to insure water is potable. Water must be boiled for seven (07) minutes at sea level and an additional minute at each one-thousand feet above sea level.
You may want to add Colloidal Silver to your purified water.
Altitude Boiling Time
Sea Level 07 minutes
1,000 feet 08 minutes
2,000 feet 09 minutes
3,000 feet 10 minutes
4,000 feet 11 minutes
5,000 feet 12 minutes
6,000 feet 13 minutes
7,000 feet 14 minutes
8,000 feet 15 minutes
01) If you have chlorine bleach, you may want to help purify your water using this method. If the water is clear, add 02 drops of chlorine bleach per quart of water. If the water is cloudy, it’s highly recommended to filter it using one of the methods described in this section. Add 04 drops of chlorine bleach if the water is cloudy.
02) Once you’ve filtered your water so it’s clear and free of odor, you can use a very small portion of Potassium Permanganate to purify your water. Add just one small crystal to your water and agitate. You’re looking for the water to turn a light pink color. Keep adding 01 crystal and agitate till you get a light pink color.

Kalahari Secret Water Caches: Those savvy bushmen cached water. Storing water (03 pints) in those heavy-duty ostrich eggs, they placed them in preselected secret caches deep in the ground. Only the bushmen that placed them there knew their locations. They were usually placed on the edges of their hunting territory.
Note: Ostrich eggs are well protected. The female (dull grayish brown feathers) lays approximately 03 eggs and incubates them in a large depression in the sand by day while the male (black with white wings & tail and weighs up to 400-pounds) incubates them by night. A hen can lay up to 80 eggs a year and lay eggs for up to 40-years.
Ostrich eggs have a hard yellowish-white color outer shell, weigh 03-pounds each, have a volume of 03-pints (01.4 liters). One protein-rich ostrich egg is equal to 24 small chicken eggs. An ostrich egg can last as long as 10-days. Take what you need, secure tape over the hole and bury the egg in the cooler ground.
Ostrich eggs are sought out by many predators in the dry environment because of its valuable liquid protein and other liquid nutrients. Ostriches are harvested throughout the world for their leather, plumes (feathers), meat, large eggs and hard egg shells.
Can you copycat the Kalahari Secret Water Caches? Sure you can.
Note: One of my subscribers from South Africa sent me 03 ostrich eggs and they are super durable!!!

Desert Emergency Water: A desert, any desert is probably one of the most unforgiving wilderness environments Mother Nature and all She possesses has to offer. As far as the desert type environments throughout the southwestern United States, there’s one life-saver used by savvy Indians, mountain men, pioneers,… It was the barrel cactus and here’s how they retrieved its life-saving water.
a) Locate: Locate the barrel cactus. It can be identified by its round cylindrical-shaped cactus ranging in size from 02 to 10-feet and complimented with thousands fish-hooked shaped thorns. Its tubular root system gathers water during times of rain and the stem or barrel keg stores the water. It’s found in certain parts of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and south of the US border in Mexico.
b) Remove Top: Take a knife and cut off the top of the barrel cactus.
c) Retrieve Pulp: Retrieve the moisture laden pulp. It contains water. The pulp can be chewed or grinded in a container to retrieve the water.
Here’s another way to get to the moisture laden barrel cactus.
d) Dig: Dig under the cactus to get to the tubular root.
e) Uproot: Once the tubular root is reached, sever it and topple over the barrel cactus.
f) Excavate: The thornless bottom of the barrel cactus is now available. Cut away the bottom and retrieve the moisture laden pulp.
1st Note: To retrieve the moisture laden pulp may take a little work, but in a hot desert environment, this work may cause heat casualties. So consider retrieving the moisture at night.
2nd Note: The barrel cactus does not contain gallons of fresh water like a lot of people think. It does contain a small amount of bitter liquid. You have to carefully cut into the barrel cactus to retrieve it. You may also squeeze the pulp to retrieve more.
But be careful. DO AN EDIBILITY TEST! Some people are sickened by the liquid which may worsen the survival threat. Now the fruit (outside towards top) of the barrel cactus is yellow in color and can be eaten as is. Now here’s how Indians got water from barrel cactus.

Bombard’s Fresh Water Fish Discovery: Dr. Alain Bombard, the author (The Bombard Story) proved salt water can save lives of lost isolated survivors out at sea. Dr. Bombard studied the effects of consuming salt water and found that the body can consume allowable amounts of salt water to hydrate the body without deadly results.
To prove his research, on 19 October 1951, Dr. Bombard set out at sea on his 01-man rubber dingy. With no support, no food nor fresh water to consume on his 65-days out at sea, Dr. Alain Bombard survived where most would have perished out at sea.
Bombard knew to survive long periods out at sea he needed water. One fresh water source was from fish. Bombard’s ‘intensive research’ found that salt water fish by weight, were made up of between 50% to 80% fresh water. Here are his findings:
Fish Water Weight %
Ray————————————76.8 – 82.2
Basking Shark————————68.0
Dolphin——————————–77.0 – 78.89
Ray’s Bream—————————78.90
Sardine——————————–78.34
Anchovy——————————–76.19
Bonito———————————-67.50 – 69.17
Bass————————————77.00 – 79.94
Mullet———————————75.6
Mackerel——————————-68.84 – 74.27
Tunny———————————-58.5
Fish Roe——————————-48.80 – 78.31
Bombard concluded that he could get ample amount of fresh water each day by catching 06 – 07 pounds of fish a day. The water was extracted from the flesh of smaller fish by cutting them up and using a fruit extractor. He found that sodium by the most part in most salt water fish was absent.
Note: Bombard found that water can be extracted from bigger fish by simply cutting slits into the fish instead of cutting them up and placing the pieces in the fruit press.
–
Bombard’s Salt Water Discovery: Bombard also discovered that salt water can be consumed WITHOUT the sickly & deadly affects preached by seamen to experts across the globe and throughout history. Bombard found that a castaway could drink up to 01 1/2 pints of salt water a day without ill effects. A pint and a half comes to about 24-ounces of water or 03 full cups of water. However, consuming large amounts of sea water causes inflammation of the kidneys (nephritis) which leads to death.
1st Note: Besides drinking fresh fish water & salt water; rain water was also consumed when available.
2nd Note: Bombard states that there is a definite difference in taste between Mediterranean Sea water and Atlantic Ocean water.
He states: “Atlantic water tastes absolutely delicious compared with that of the Mediterranean. Much less salty and quenches my thirst perfectly.”
–
Chemical Water Purifier: According to the Alaskan State Park, one of the best ways to purify water is to add one drop of household bleach (Clorox, Purex,..) to each quart of water.
–
Utah Mormon Water Purifier: Did you read my experience with the 2nd Wind Trail Mix? Good. To go along with that military deployment, I remember we had an intelligence briefing about the area and the people in the area. The only thing I remember was that Mormon’s stockaded arms and ammunition and stored consumable supplies like water. They stored gallons and gallons of water in light-restrictive areas like crawl spaces and to insure the water would stay algae free and drinkable, they put 04 or 05 drops of Clorox bleach in each gallon container. This gallon water containers would be rotated every year (consumed and refilled).
MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you go on your next outdoor adventure, please do the wise thing and re-read ‘How To Plan Your Outdoor Adventure!’
